Blend together shortening, sugar and eggs. Add cream of tartar, baking soda and salt to flour. Add to creamed mixture. In a ziploc baggie mix the cinnamon and 2 Tbsp. of sugar. Take a spoonful of dough and roll into a ball. Put each ball into the Ziploc of cinnamon/ sugar mix and shake. Place coated dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.

*Baker's hint: I think if you make larger dough balls (golf ball size), the cookies come out better because they are crispy on the outside, but still stay soft in the centers! When I make bigger cookies I add 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
